Marlton School is a KG–12 public special school for the deaf and hard of hearing students in Los Angeles, California, United States.[4] It was established in 1968 and is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

It offers a bilingual program in American Sign Language and English, and was one of the first non-residential schools to be admitted to the Center for ASL/English Bilingual Education and Research (CAEBER) program called ASL/English Bilingual Professional Development (AEBPD). It is the only school district-run school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in California.[5]

The school is prominent for its partnership with

ABC Family's television show Switched at Birth starring Vanessa Marano and Katie Leclerc.[6]

History

It was founded in September 1968 as a pre-Kindergarten through grade 9 school. A high school program began in the fall of 1971, and the first student to graduate from Marlton's high school program, previously a student at Hollywood High School after attending Marlton's elementary and junior high programs, did so in 1972.
